Analyzing the correlation between acute ischemic stroke and triglyceride-glucose index based on ordered logistic regression by Liu He, Rong Li, Lei Wang, Xi Zhu, Qiang Zhou, Zhiyong Yang, Hua Liu

“…Insulin resistance was evaluated using the TyG index, and its relationship with the modified Rankin Scale (mRS) scores was analyzed. The analysis was conducted using R software (version R 4.1.3) to evaluate the correlation between the TyG index and functional outcomes at 14, 30, and 90 days post-stroke.ResultsThe study found that each unit increase in the TyG index significantly raised the risk of poor functional outcomes at 14 days (OR 9.86; 95% CI: 3.32–32.21; P < 0.001), 30 days (OR 5.82; 95% CI: 2.08–17.45; P = 0.001), and 90 days (OR 9.79; 95% CI: 3.33–31.66; P < 0.001) following a stroke. …”
